The G&B was started for the first time this morning! The custom box exhaust dampens very nicely. Paint is not ready yet... Will be done after the Guzzi track day on July 5th. The stainless steel box exhaust: inlet tubes from a Stucchi x-over. Box design and welding by my brother. Really big outlet pipe (60 mm.)

Moved

Nice! Where can I order one?

Redheads...

Quick follow up: Yesterday we installed the new front brake lines. Today we are starting with the buiding of the exhaust. It's going to be a two stage design with a box type collector under the gearbox. This contains perforated sheet metal for creating back pressure. Out of this box comes a 54 mm to +/- 120 mm megaphone type muffler with a perforated pipe and stainless steel wool interior. Of course the muffler ends with a reverse cone made from billet on a lathe. My brother consulted a gas flow technician and he said that this could work very well. We use 0,7 mm. ss sheet material for the box and the muffler. It seems that a lot of exhaust dB's originate from resonating sheet material. Adding a db-killer is also going to be possible. And coming friday I can pick up the paintwork! :pic: The rest of the bike is ready and runs. (that's important too) Just a quick question: We came up with this solution for fastening tha battery. Because it's a gel battery, this should work. What do you think?

Looks like a Hollywood explosion! Glad he came out okay.

Really nice bike, but from what I've read not very comfortable on long trips (seat) BTW, I really enjoy your various choices for a new bike. From a Valkyrie to this is quite a big step!

Öhlins shocks F&R are mounted on several later V11 models and I think there are still some new or used available at forum members. They will chime in. Can't help you with the settings on the OEM stuff.

Nice!

I have never seen a V11LM with the same setup I have (had). Maybe mine is a Tenni incognito.

Mine came from the factory this way. This summer the complete setup will be on the for sale list on this forum.

What a great use of space! All the electrical stuff in the rear: The hugger mount was a bit flimsy, so my brother made something nice: Rear lights and indicators in one connector so that I can take license plate and the other stuff off with only two bolts: The Rossopuro triple-tee looks great! The brake and clutch oil reservoirs are mounted on the triple-tee with the original brackets slightly altered. Placed on the usual spot thy wouldn't clear the fairing. Front fairing frame had to be altered slightly and head light mount had to be repositioned with 2 brackets to have the fairing line up nicely with the tank

I moved Roy's new thread to the FAQ (edited the topic title) and could open the attachments logged in as a normal member, so it should work.

Apart from the fact that my wallet is much lighter, I think there will be plenty of kilos gone off the bike. I will weigh it when it's ready. It sure looks an afwul lot lighter!

Just an update: Bike is almost ready! As far as I could see yesterday, the only things that have to be done are new brake lines, exhaust (thinking about the Stucchi Breva 2-in-1 X-over and Mistral exhaust) and the license plate stuff. At the same I'll have the paintwork done and then she's ready for the road/track! Can't wait!

The vikings are coming! Mothers, hide your daughters and Guzzi riders, hide your cafe racers! @ Guy: looking great!

Just got back from my 12 day trip to the UK (and a bit of the Irish Republic). Great! The meeting in Ballintoy was the highlight of the tour. Big thanks to BFG for organizing it and I also want to thank Antonio and Jens for putting up with me for a week! I'll post some pics when I find time.
